I want to introduce myself, I write for a a DIY powder coating site. I have been powder coating for several years now and I just made the site to make it easier for other new powder coaters to get started.

I started powder coating parts for a car restorations and the results have been amazing. I have also coated a lot of worn out stuff on my old Raleigh. All of the parts I have coated for my bike have been holding up excellent since I coated them 2 years ago. It is a great functional coating, especially for bikes that see some mud and weather like mine tends to.

Anyways, if anyone else here is interested in powder coating or already is into powder coating, you might want to check the site out. http://www.powdercoatguide.com/

I just finished an article on how to build your own powder coating oven big enough to accommodate frames.

Feel free to ask me any powder coating questions, I would be happy to answer them. Also, if you have done any powder coating on your bike, post up some pics. I'd love to see some other peoples work.
